I need some help in understanding axle weights etc.
My V5 shows revenue weight as 3850kg.
The Fiat plate shows:
3500
5500
1) 1850
2) 2120
The AKLO plate shows
3850
5500
1) 1850
2) 2120
I assume the ALKO chassis upped weight limit to 3850 from Fiat's 3550?
What is the 5500? Gross train weight if towing?? I'm not.
I assume 1850 and 2120 are the MAXIMUM permissable axle weights but the maximums must not exceed 3850 when added together?
The weighbridge today showed Front: 1640kgs and Rear: 2000kgs.
So I have used 3640 of 3850 so 210 kgs of payload remaining?
That's MAX of 210 front and MAX of 120 rear. But as combined weight is 3640 then I only have an actual weight to spare of 3850-3640=210kgs?
Rear was loaded with 2 full gas bottles, full toilet flush, 125 litres of water so rear pretty well taken care of.
Still got SHMBO to go on front, approx 63kg so 147 left for some more clothes and food. Most other things already in, tools, TV, etc. but only 1/4 tank of fuel so another 60kg if full, now down to 87kg , thats her trunk of clothes and my 4 T-shirts and shorts, well I know I am greedy but I am away for 4 weeks !
Have I got this load thing right please??
